Ethereal doesn't support printing to a printer on Windows; it only
supports printing to a file.
Unfortunately, it still has the ability to configure "Print Packet" to
print to a printer on Windows. You will have to configure it to print
to a file instead; select the "Preferences" item from the "Edit" menu,
select "Printing" in the list of items on the left of the dialog box it
pops up, select "File" in the "Print to:" row, and put the pathname of a
file in the "File:" row. Then click "Save" and "OK". "Print Packet"
will then print the packet to that file.
If you're printing using the "Print..." menu item under the "File" menu,
however, it shouldn't even off you the *chance* to print to a printer,
so if that's what you mean by "all the text", you shouldn't get a
"Couldn't run print command lpr" error when you do "Print..." from the
"File" menu on Windows.
